The populist right’s thirst for a true challenge to corporate power demands more than tired, decades-old GOP talking points.<1>
“Money power” is more accurate but Mr. Bartee is 99% right.
The tepid desire of RINO opponents of the Freedom Caucus in the Wyoming legislature to inject a “more moderate,” “less divisive,” “more centrists,” “more moderate,” and a “more inclusive” way of doing things leaves me cold.
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? 1 Corinthians 14:8
So, onward to something. Or not. Who knows?
If there’s a more accurate take on what the rock-hard, non-negotiable principles of “traditional Republicans” are please straighten me out. As of now, I don’t get “traditional Republicanism” and I think Wyoming and the nation itself now exist in something that more closely resembles a casino where every calculation of probability favors the house. A functioning constitutional republic responsive to the states and the sovereign people it isn’t. But don’t you just love those voting machines?
Anyone think that lower taxes, “fixing our broken immigration system,” and smashing the evil Russians are our way out of the Dark Woods?
“Traditional Republican” to me seem like just another name for people who yearn for more “hands across the aisle” nonsense where the pull is always toward revolutionary leftism, plutocracy, and protecting the uniparty and never toward a genuine, full-tilt campaign to undo decades of judicial betrayal, unwind spending lunacy, abandon administrative oppression, punish FBI corruption, stop endless war, stop catering to the underclass, stop punishing working Americans, stop trashing our ancestors and our history, stop undermining public order and common decency, and stop endless government-media censorship and lies.
What did traditional Republicans ever do to change this:
Question mark.

Or this:
I know. That’s just wise stewardship by our betters. And patriotism, of course. I understand.
After decades of this and the endless undermining of the Constitutional at every single opportunity, the populist wants for politicians to (1) cut the [nonsense] and (2) return power to the people. Who are these people who purport to be our perpetual rulers?

At least they have nice white clothing. "Swan Lake." That's choice.
